The Impatient Years

I'm sure most of us watched this film expecting a lot considering the cast. The More the Merrier and The Devil and Miss Jones were rare jewels. This film can't compare on the clever comedic levels as those films.

The leads have no chemistry and that is a large part of the problem. There is one scene full of great funny lines and that was in the diner and all funny lines delivered by the proprietor.

This film is still sweet and worth a one time viewing. Just don't expect the cuteness, cleverness and giggles from those other collaborations.

Jean Arthur retired for years after making this film.
